PRAYER REQUESTS

I stopped by and visited with Marisa Felps today to check on her daughter, Carla.  She has an additional spot in her arm and they can do no more radiation.  So, they are considering their options.  Carla is frustrated and is in constant discomfort in her arm.  Please pray that the doctors can find a treatment that will eradicate this cancer.  Pray for Marisa as she juggles a lot things at home, work, et cetera. 

Bro. Jerry shared with me today that Vance May, Linda & Nancy’s brother, has been moved from Birmingham to a Mobile hospital.  Please pray for him. 

I learned today that Martha Patrick’s brother, James Swann, was admitted to the hospital early this morning so please pray for Bubba and Martha.

Also, I received a message today from John Bos, director of Christ For The World in Orlando, FL, today.  His mother-in-law, Jean De Ridder, fell about six months ago breaking a hip.  Last Friday she fell again breaking the other hip and her pelvis.  She has undergone surgery but certainly needs our prayer support. 

Maxine Dupont called the office this afternoon to tell us that her husband, Morris Dupont, is in an intensive care unit in a local hospital.  Bro. Kerry has gone to check on him so we can hopefully share an update tomorrow. 

Pray without ceasing!

HANNAH KAY HATCHER

I failed to mention in my post this morning that Kayla Hyatt Hatcher was in the hospital and that they were inducing labor today.  I visited Kayla, Ryan, and family around 11:30AM.  Hannah made her grand entrance into this world shortly after 1:00PM checking in at 7 lbs 1 oz and 21 inches long.  Congratulations to Ryan & Kayla and their families.  Pray for these new parents and this precious addition to their family.

MONDAY, JULY 23

First, I received news last night that Dawn Hacker’s mother had passed away very unexpectedly yesterday.  The details I have are too sketchy for me to fill in the blanks at this time so I will simply ask that you pray for Tony & Dawn and their family. 

It was so good to see Linda Green in our 10:30AM service yesterday.  She was discharged from the hospital on Saturday afternoon and, true to form, in church the next day.  Linda has been the epitome of faithfulness to the Lord through the church for as long as I have known her. 

It was also good to see Mary Lee Owens in our 8:00AM service.  Pray for her as she adjusts to life on earth without Ronnie. 

The Lord blessed in our services as we saw Gary Walton receive Jesus as his personal Savior in the 10:30AM service and then saw him, Sueanna Bryant, and Michelle Palmer follow the Lord in believer’s baptism as a part of our evening service.  We thank God for giving the increase and we give Him the glory! 

Our Personnel Committee has asked me to announce that this Friday, 7/27, is the absolute latest for anyone to apply for the interim custodian job at the church.  As it stands now, they plan on conducting interviews this weekend.  Contact Vinnie Brewer, Jim Sciple, Ben Vickers, or Kerry Woods.  (Andy Hamil is also on the PC but he is out of town)

The wedding of Wes & Rebekah was very nice and very well attended.  Now we move to the wedding of Gary Walton and Rachel Haynes this Saturday at 6:00PM at 11251 Lakeside Circle.  You are invited.  The dress is casual and the theme is Hawaiian. 

My wife, Lisa, and her sister, Kim, will have the privilege of hosting a 50th wedding anniversary reception for their parents, Charles & Ann Clark, this Saturday, 7/28, from 2:00 – 4:00PM in the fellowship hall.  You are invited and no gifts please!  (As I announced yesterday, if you want to give cash then just give it to me and I will make sure Charles gets it!) 

We are also hitting full stride in getting ready for Deidra’s wedding and her church wedding shower takes place this Thursday night, 7/26, from 6:30 – 8:30PM in the parsonage.  This is a “come and go” shower.  All ladies of the church are invited to attend.

I am encouraging each member of the Friendship family to be involved in doing ministry through the Friendship family.  If you are willing to serve in any capacity, please contact any staff member.  Each member is a minister! 

On a personal note, it was such a huge joy for me to see Vince, Tanya, Madison, Morgan, and Chance Bosarge in the services yesterday.  I missed this family during their exile to Michigan and am certainly glad they are home! 

Our blog readership is increasing and it appears July will be our most read month ever.  We are up to nine readers per day!  Again, thanks mama, my three siblings, and my five first cousins! 

I pray that you will have a great day with Jesus.  Tell someone that Jesus lives!
